      abstract = {methane (ch 4 ) is a potent greenhouse gas that is very critical in global warming and climate change. although its concentration in the atmosphere is lower than that of carbon dioxide (co 2 ), methane has a global warming potential that is 25 times that of co 2 when considering its 100-year concentration. methane sources through oil and gas mining, agriculture, and waste management are the major contributors to environmental degradation, aggravation of air quality, and climate change acceleration. this essay discusses the environmental and climatic effects of leakage of methane gases, and why effective detection and mitigation measures are necessary. the paper is an overview of the available technology in methane monitoring, the current mitigation strategies, and the policy frameworks that are in place to mitigate the emission of methane. the difficulty of identifying and addressing the leak, and the different success of the policy interventions applied to different regions is also addressed. the article concludes that the problem of methane emissions is important in realizing global climate goals and environmental sustainability in the long run.},
